The winning team can just take down whoever is BDing and then push for the win. Also, how is BDing a valid strategy if you're losing?

You say its a valid strategy like it was in Dota, but their was a huge difference, in Dota towers regened from stuff like that, so the scout who keeps popping out and hitting the tower without creeps nearby could do it so easily.

However, I did have one single instance where I felt backdooring was fine. Essentially I was playing a game where the opposing team had farmed up and easily destroyed us in several team battles, no contest. However, after the other team started racking up kills they basically stalled for 20 minutes as they were farming up and waiting for us to leave the base to gank us. So we basically sent out our stealth heroes to backdoor them. Frankly, in this instance we had nothing to lose, if they pushed like they should have or if they backdoored as well they would win. If they continued jerking us around then megacreeps would end the game faster. And to give you a sense of how farmed up they were, even when megacreeped they were able to defend each lane with just one or two heroes and even push up to our base. Is it a cheap, last resort tactic? Probably yes, but all they had the option of ending the game a long time ago. If the other team starts goofing off like that then I think backdooring is fair game Personally I find backdooring distasteful 99% of the time, it's just an unspoken code of conduct which comes from me playing DotA beforehand.

However being such a squishy support going up against a scout that is fully farmed is an instant death. That was my point. Having to leave our farmed carry in base to keep their farmed carry from BDing leaves everyone at a stand still. I actually play a lot of support and have a TP on me 90% of the time.
